It’s a French Toast Kinda Morning

I love eggs, and pancakes can really hit the spot, but some mornings, I just want warm, eggy French Toast. French Toast is the perfect combination of custard, cinnamon, vanilla and sweet. One of the best things about French Toast is that it uses ingredients that you typically have on hand. To make French Toast extra special I like to add orange liquor to it!

Ingredients

• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 4 eggs
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tbsp of orange liquor (I like Grand Marnier)–optional
• 8 slices white bread

Start by beating the eggs and milk in a wide shallow bowl. I like to use a pie dish–it makes life easy.

Add in the cinnamon, sugar, vanilla and Grand Marnier and mix until combined.

Melt the butter in a skillet or griddle over medium high heat.

Dip each piece of bread in the egg mixture, shaking off any extra.

In the hot pan or on the hot griddle cook the French Toast until golden brown on the first side, and then flip and make it a lovely golden brown on the other side too.

Now, the real secret to French Toast is to warm up the syrup. I usually use the real deal–real Maple Syrup, and run the bottle under hot water, until it’s nicely warmed.

Add a sprinkle of powdered sugar on top, and you are ready to serve and enjoy this good food!
